Welcome to the Advanced Security Plugin Guide! This document covers advanced configurations and features for enhancing security in your system. Whether you're securing APIs, managing user access, or implementing custom authentication, this guide will help you master the security plugin's capabilities.

Key Features 🚀

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Fine-grained permissions management
  • Token Authentication: Secure API requests with JWT or OAuth2
  • SSL/TLS Encryption: Enable encrypted communication
  • Audit Logging: Track user activities and security events

Configuration Options ⚙️

  1. Access Control Lists (ACLs)
    Define rules to restrict access to specific resources.
    Example:

    security:
      acl:
        - path: "/api/data"
          method: "GET"
          roles: ["admin", "user"]
    
  2. Custom Headers for Authentication
    Add headers like Authorization or X-Api-Key to secure endpoints.

  3. Rate Limiting
    Prevent abuse by limiting request frequency.
    Example:

    LimitRequestPerIP 100
    

Best Practices ✅

  • Always enable SSL/TLS for data in transit.
  • Use token expiration to minimize risks of unauthorized access.
  • Regularly update security policies to adapt to new threats.
